Graphics view is faceted and not smooth?
(OP)
I have an arc that creates thin domed part. When I finally extrude the sketch the resulting solid looks faceted and not smooth. I went into Options\Performance and set the level of detail to "More (slow)". I then went to Image Quality and set the shaded and wireframe quality to High (slower). I would have thought the solid surfaces would become smooth. This has not been the case.
Any thoughts?

Is your graphics card SolidWorks-approved?

Something might be hosed with the other SW installation--since it's off by almost exactly a factor of ten.
